Judges 11
1 And Jephthae the Galaadite [was] a mighty man; and he [was] the son of a harlot, who bore Jephthae to Galaad.
Jephthah el sie mwet mweun Gilead su ku ac pulaik. Nina kial uh sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ac papa tumal pa Gilead.
2 And the wife of Galaad bore him sons; and the sons of his wife grew up, and they cast out Jephthae, and said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in the house of our father, for thou art the son of a concubine.
Oasr pac wen natul Gilead sin mutan kial ah, na ke tulik mukul inge matula elos lusulla Jephthah liki lohm sin papa tumalos ac fahk, “Kom ac fah tia usrui kutena ma lun papa tumasr, mweyen kom ma nutin siena mutan.”
3 And Jephthae fled from the face of his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and vain men gathered to Jephthae, and went out with him.
Na Jephthah el kaingla liki tamulel lal ac som muta in acn Tob. Ac ke el muta we, un mwet lusrongten se tuku nu yorol ac welul forfor in acn sac.
4 And it came to pass when the children of Ammon prepared to fight with Israel,
Tok kutu, na mwet Ammon elos tuku in mweuni mwet Israel.
5 that the elders of Galaad went to fetch Jephthae from the land of Tob.
Ke ma inge sikyak ah, mwet kol lun acn Gilead elos som in folokunulma Jephthah liki acn Tob.
6 And they said to Jephthae, Come, and be our head, and we will fight with the sons of Ammon.
Elos fahk nu sel, “Fahsru kol kut, tuh kut in ku in mweuni mwet Ammon.”
7 And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, Did ye not hate me, and cast me out of my father's house, and banish me from you? and wherefore are ye come to me now when ye want me?
A Jephthah el fahk nu selos, “Kowos tuh lisyula liki lohm sin papa tumuk ke sripen kowos tuh arulana srungayu. Na efu kowos ku sukyu inge ke kowos sun ongoiya?”
8 And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, Therefore have we now turned to thee, that thou shouldest go with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Galaad.
Elos fahk nu sel Jephthah, “Kut sifilpa foroht nu sum inge mweyen kut lungse kom in wi kut mweuni mwet Ammon, ac kol mwet Gilead nukewa.”
9 And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, If ye turn me back to fight with the children of Ammon, and the Lord should deliver them before me, then will I be your head.
Jephthah el topuk ac fahk, “Kowos fin folokinyu nu yen sik tuh nga in mweuni mwet Ammon, ac LEUM GOD El fin ase kutangla nu sik, na nga fah mwet kol lowos.”
10 And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, The Lord be witness between us, if we shall not do according to thy word.
Ac elos topuk ac fahk, “Kut insese ke ma kom fahk an, ac LEUM GOD El mwet loh lasr.”
11 And Jephthae went with the elders of Galaad, and the people made him head and ruler over them: and Jephthae spoke all his words before the Lord in Massepha.
Na Jephthah el wi mwet kol lun mwet Gilead inge, ac mwet uh elos akfulatyal ac oru tuh elan mwet kol lalos ac leum faclos. Ac Jephthah el fahkak nunak lal nukewa ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Mizpah.
12 And Jephthae sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have I to do with thee, that thou hast come against me to fight in my land?
Na Jephthah el supwala mwet utuk kas nu yurin tokosra lun mwet Ammon ke kas se inge, “Sripa fuka se kom tuku lain kut kac an— Efu kom utyak nu in acn sesr uh?”
13 And the king of the children of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthae, Because Israel took my land when he went up out of Egypt, from Arnon to Jaboc, and to Jordan: now then return them peaceably and I will depart.
Ac tokosra lun mwet Ammon el topuk mwet utuk kas lal Jephthah ac fahk, “Ke mwet Israel elos tuku liki acn Egypt elos tuku twe eisla facl sik, mutawauk ke Infacl Arnon fahla nwe Infacl Jabbok ac sun Infacl Jordan. Inge kowos enenu in folokonma acn inge nufon ke misla.”
14 And Jephthae again sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon,
Na Jephthah el sifil supwala mwet utuk kas nu yurin tokosra lun mwet Ammon,
15 and said to him, Thus says Jephthae, Israel took not the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;
ke kas se inge, “Tia pwaye lah mwet Israel elos eisla facl Moab ku facl Ammon.
16 for in their going up out of Egypt Israel went in the wilderness as far as the sea of Siph, and came to Cades.
Pa inge ma tuh sikyak ah. Ke mwet Israel elos tuku liki acn Egypt elos fahsr sasla yen mwesis nwe ke elos sun inalok ke Meoa Srusra ac tuku nu Kadesh.
17 And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, I will pass, if it please thee, by thy land: and the king of Edom complied not: and [Israel] also sent to the king of Moab, and he did not consent; and Israel sojourned in Cades.
Na elos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yurin tokosra lun mwet Edom in siyuk tuh elan fuhlela elos in fahla sasla facl sel ah. Tuh tokosra sac el tuh tia fuhlela. Na elos siyuk pac sin tokosra lun mwet Moab, tuh el tia pacna lela elos in fahla in acn sel. Ouinge mwet Israel elos mutana in acn Kadesh.
18 And [they] journeyed in the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab: and they came by the east of the land of Moab, an encamped in the country beyond Arnon, and came not within the borders of Moab, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab.
Na elos fahsrna ke yen mwesis, ac ut sisken facl Edom ac Moab nwe ke elos sun kutulap in Moab, nu lefahl eir in Infacl Arnon. Elos tui we, tia tupalla Infacl Arnon mweyen pa ingan masrol nu Moab.
19 And Israel sent messengers to Seon king of the Amorite, king of Esbon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, by thy land to our place.
Na mwet Israel elos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol Sihon, tokosra lun mwet Amor in acn Heshbon, ac siyuk elan lela elos in fahsr sasla facl sel nu in acn selos sifacna.
20 And Seon did not trust Israel to pass by his coast; and Seon gathered all his people, and they encamped at Jasa; and he set the battle in array against Israel.
Na Sihon el tia pac lela mwet Israel in fahsr sasla facl sel. El sap mwet mweun lal nukewa in fahsreni ac muta in acn Jahaz, na elos mweun lain mwet Israel.
21 And the Lord God of Israel delivered Seon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote him; and Israel inherited all the land of the Amorite who dwelt in that land,
Tusruktu LEUM GOD lun Israel El oru tuh mwet Israel in kutangulla Sihon ac mwet mweun lal. Na mwet Israel elos eisla acn nukewa sin mwet Amor su muta in facl sac tuh in ma lalos.
22 from Arnon and to Jaboc, and from the wilderness to Jordan.
Elos sruokya facl sin mwet Amor nukewa, mutawauk Infacl Arnon su masrol nu eir, utyak nwe ke Infacl Jabbok layen nu epang, ac liki yen mwesis su masrol kutulap, fahla nwe ke Infacl Jordan layen nu roto.
23 And now the Lord God of Israel has removed the Amorite from before his people Israel, and shalt thou inherit his [land]?
LEUM GOD lun Israel pa tuh lusak mwet Amor inge ac sang facl sac nu sin mwet Israel, mwet lal.
24 Wilt thou not inherit those possessions which Chamos thy god shall cause thee to inherit; and shall not we inherit the [land of] all those whom the Lord our God has removed from before you?
Ya kom ac srike in sifilpa eis facl se inge tuh in ma lom— Kom ku in sruokya kutena acn ma Chemosh, god lom, el tuh sot nu sum. A kut, kut ac sruokya acn nukewa ma LEUM GOD lasr El eisla in ma lasr.
25 And now art thou any better than Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab? did he indeed fight with Israel, or indeed make war with him,
Mea, kom nunku mu kom fas lukel Balak, wen natul Zippor, tokosra lun mwet Moab— Ya oasr pacl Balak el akukuin lain mwet Israel, ku mweun lain kut?
26 when [Israel] dwelt in Esebon and in its coasts, and in the land of Aroer and in its coasts, and in all the cities by Jordan, three hundred years? and wherefore didst thou not recover them in that time?
Oasr yac tolfoko lac mwet Israel elos sruokya acn Heshbon ac Aroer ac inkul ma oan raunela, oayapa siti nukewa su oan sisken Infacl Arnon. Efu ku kom tia eisla acn inge ke pacl na loeloes se ingan?
27 And now I have not sinned against thee, but thou wrongest me in preparing war against me: may the Lord the Judge judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Tia nga pa orekma koluk nu sum uh. Kom pa orekma koluk ke kom mweun lainyu. Misenge LEUM GOD El ac fah oru nununku lal inmasrlon mwet Israel ac mwet Ammon.”
28 But the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthae, which he sent to him.
Tusruktu, tokosra lun mwet Ammon el tia lohang nu ke kas inge ma Jephthah el supwala nu yorol.
29 And the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthae, and he passed over Galaad, and Manasse, and passed by the watch-tower of Galaad to the other side of the children of Ammon.
Na ngunin LEUM GOD tuku nu facl Jephthah. El fahsr sasla in acn Gilead ac Manasseh, ac folokla nu Mizpah in acn Gilead ac som nu Ammon.
30 And Jephthae vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
Ac Jephthah el orala sie wulela nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Kom fin oru tuh nga in kutangla mwet Ammon,
31 then it shall come to pass that whosoever shall first come out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, he shall be the Lord's: I will offer him up for a whole-burnt-offering.
na mwet se emeet su ilme liki lohm sik ac sunyu ke nga ac kutangla foloko, nga ac fah kisakin nu sum, tuh in mwe kisa firir.”
32 And Jephthae advanced to meet the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his hand.
Ouinge Jephthah el fahla sasla Infacl Arnon in mweuni mwet Ammon, ac LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sel.
33 And he smote them from Aroer till [one] comes to Arnon, in number twenty cities, and as far as Ebelcharmim, with a very great destruction: and the children of Ammon were straitened before the children of Israel.
El tuh mweunelos, mutawauk in acn Aroer fahla rauneak acn Minnith, su oasr siti longoul we, nwe ke el sun acn Abel Keramim. Mwet puspis anwuki ke mweun se inge, na mwet Israel elos kutangla mwet Ammon.
34 And Jephthae came to Massepha to his house; and behold, his daughter came forth to meet him with timbrels and dances; and she was his only child, he had not another son or daughter.
Ke Jephthah el folok nu yen sel in acn Mizpah, acn se natul ah el illa in sonol. El srital ke sie tambourine ac onsrosro. El tulik sefanna natul, wangin pac tulik saya.
35 And it came to pass when he saw her, that he rent his garments, and said, Ah, ah, my daughter, thou hast indeed troubled me, and thou wast the cause of my trouble; and I have opened my mouth against thee to the Lord, and I shall not be able to return from it.
Ke Jephthah el liyal el arulana asor ac seya nuknuk lal, ac fahk, “We, acn nutik! Sripom pa oru ngan pula keok upa nu in ngunik inge! Foroti na pwaye insiuk keim, mweyen nga tuh orala wulela na ku se nu sin LEUM GOD ac nga tia ku in kunausla!”
36 And she said to him, Father, hast thou opened thy mouth to the Lord? Do to me accordingly as [the word] went out of thy mouth, in that the Lord has wrought vengeance for thee on thine enemies of the children of Ammon.
Ac tulik mutan sac fahk nu sel, “Kom fin orala tari sie wulela nu sin LEUM GOD, oru nu sik ma kom wulela kac an, mweyen LEUM GOD El tuh kasrekom in foloksak nu sin mwet lokoalok lom, mwet Ammon uh.
37 And she said to her father, Let my father now do this thing: let me alone for two months, and I will go up and down on the mountains, and I will bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
Tusruktu, oasr sie ma nga enenu sum: filiyula nga in wi kawuk luk som mutwata fineol uh malem luo, in asorkin lah nga ac misa tia payuk.”
38 And he said, Go: and he sent her away for two months; and she went, and her companions, and she bewailed her virginity on the mountains.
Na Jephthah el fahk elan som ke lusen malem luo. Na acn sac wi mutan kawuk lal elos som nu fineol uh, ac tung mweyen el ac misa ac tia payuk ku isus tulik.
39 And it came to pass at the end of the two months that she returned to her father; and he performed upon her his vow which he vowed; and she knew no man:
Tukun malem luo el foloko nu yurin papa tumal. Jephthah el oru nu sel oana ma el tuh wulela nu sin LEUM GOD, na mutan sac el misa, tiana payuk. Pa inge mutaweyen facsin se inge,
40 and it was an ordinance in Israel, [That] the daughters of Israel went from year to year to bewail the daughter of Jephthae the Galaadite for four days in a year.
ma mutan Israel uh ac som liki lohm selos ke lusen len akosr pacl se ke yac nukewa, in asor ac oru mwe esmakin lalos ke acn natul Jephthah, mwet Gilead.
